In despite of my 6.75 inch wrists I was able to comfortably pull off this 46mm case width by 15.8mm tall Ananta SD Chrono. With the bracelet you are looking at nearly 250g or half a pound of steel!

In the end, the heft of the watch began to erode the admiration that I had for this piece. It is still a beautiful and underrated watch. The original Ananta "Katana" inspired case was a very polarizing and risky move in part of Seiko. Sadly, Seiko has moved away from it but I applaud them for taking such a bold design risk.

I sold the watch last year to another fellow forumer and Seiko enthusiast and replaced it with the Grand Seiko SBGC001 which is the equivalent of the Ananta SPS007.

It is still a watch with great wrist presence but more comfortable for me. The case is 43.5mm by 16.1mm thick but the watch weighs (All steel case and bracelet) only 187g, so it is feather light in comparison to the Ananta.
